I just use a cheap Fluke meter. I test output at the alternator first. If it reads 14V or above, it's OK. Then check the battery. If it's 14 or so, the connection is good then it's the battery. If the battery connection shows low voltage, it's a bad connection. FWIW, I have electronic ignition...

Ok, Edelbrock Performer RPM aluminum heads. Talked to Vic Edelbrock Jr. and told me that all of their Performer RPM series will shift at 6500 all day. I shift mine at 6 grand with zero valve float. It's all about the total combination. Cheers

Hi guys, glad to be on this forum. I just had mine shortened in Fla($105 from Year One and $25 to shorten it). but I'm in touch with some folks in Ca that will sell me everything I need to replace the inner cable. But I won't be able to do anything about the outer casing yet. I watched the guy...

OK, I am a proud Canadian. I have served my country for 25 years. I cannot remember how many SSN's and SSBN's and Nimitz class that I have worked with. You folks are our best friends and vice versa I hope. I come to your country for six months a year and spend a LOT of money supporting your...

Mine is one of one. Cheers.

Thanks man. I've been at the old truck for 10 years. The reason I'm on this site is I like Mopars!!!! I've had everything from a 225 to a Hemi. I figured everyone was having a problem with throttle cables (and other stuff) and thought I could help. I'm 65 years old, Know Don Garlits(he got 5 of...

I kinda like the middle of nowhere. 8 miles up the road is a 68 SS/AA cuda (original), a 64 Ramchargers Dodge,and oh yeah, my brother almost has his 65 Coronet A/FX car together(altercation front end) with a 540 World Products hemi, 10/71 Procharger, fuel and water injected . 1300 HP. So yeah, I...

And I'm guessing BF Canada is the same as BF Kansas??

Oh yeah forgot to say when was the last time you seen an old Ford pickup with a Chrysler steering column and pedal assly. and torsion bars??? BTW, I'm mopar thru and thru. Cheers.

I went with Eddelbrock Performer RPM aluminum heads from 452's. WOW!! Big difference. 484 cam, Performer intake, 750 DP Holley double roller chain. Cheers

I bought one from year one that said it fit A bodies but would work on a BB C body. Well, 1 3/4" too long! Took it to County Cycles in Pinellas Park and they shortened it. Works great!! I'm waiting on another new one from Ottawa, if it fits, I'll let you know. The length I believe is 20". Cheers.

Come on over. I'm in Clearwater.

Hi Scott. 3:23 in the rear with an Auburn posi. Gear Vendors overdrive cuts it back to a 2:52. 70 MPH is about 2 grand, so 18-20 MPG IF I keep my foot out of it. 0-60=3.6 secs. 1/4=12.8 @ 116, and the top end is a mathematical number around 200. Cheers

A fellow named Dale Armstrong from Edmonton, Alberta was the mentor for Patricks build before I bought it in Alix, Alberta. Pat is a son of one of my now deceased old submariner friends. Dale said it would mate, but then had to box the frame. I have some pics of it, but can't put them up. I...

Got a Mopar performance sticker on the drivers side hood.
